TOS Crew Review: Worship Guitar Class-Volume 1 DVD + Book

When we bought our oldest a guitar a few years back, we had high hopes that it would be played on a regular basis. Sadly, that was not to be. College came up fast, and her courses depleted any extra time she could devote to picking it back up, and learning to play. I was excited to receive the Worship Guitar Class-Vol. 1 DVD + Book set by Jean Welles to review, especially since just a few weeks prior to getting notification that we'd be receiving it-my 15 year old dd was pestering me about learning to play the guitar!

This is the first volume of a four part series. By the title you can see it is Christian-based, and is beginning lessons for learning to play the guitar. The DVD starts out with a section covering the parts of a guitar, then moves into 7 lessons (which can be heard in Spanish too).  Each one is short enough to not overwhelm, but has enough packed into it to get a decent start on playing.  The good thing is that you can pause the DVD to practice the techniques before continuing on. With the book as additional help,  the student will quickly learn to start strumming up a few songs we're all pretty much familiar with. The site also contains several tips and techniques necessary for good guitar playing. The articles are really quite helpful, as we have already learned a few things we were clueless about. Best of all, Jean ties in references to the Lord whenever she can, and I really appreciated that.  I do want to point out, that in my opinion,  you really need the entire series to gain enough mastery skills to play more than a couple cords or basic songs, but the level 1 we reviewed is a good start!

We have been slowly working through the lessons, but with the holidays-it has been slow going. We hope that over the next several weeks we will be able to get a better handle on this product, along with how well it is working for our guitar playing hopeful. I will be sure to come back and post how things are going with this, and what our final opinion is, after we have spent more time with it. I have decided, at this time, to give the Worship Guitar Class a middle of the road rating. If things change, I will update it and let you know.
